Just wanted to shout out a project I came across (and tested) recently which is Yamtrack.
It’s a self-hosted media tracker that lets you manage your watchlist, track history, and organize shows/movies with ease. It supports manual tracking, and also has impressive integrations with services like Plex, Emby, Trakt, Simkl, MyAnimeList, AniList, Kitsu, etc..
I imported my entire library from Trakt and Simkl without any issues perfectly matched all. The UI is clean and fast, and everything works. Easy Docker deployment, user accounts, etc...
I've tried most of the other self-hosted trackers like Movary, MediaTracker, Watcharr, etc. Yamtrack hits the sweet spot between simplicity and powerful features. It’s clear a lot of thought went into its design.
With Trakt getting more restrictive for free users lately, this is honestly the best alternative I’ve seen — and it gives you full control over your data.
Definitely feels like one of those hidden gems in the self-hosted space that deserves way more attention.
Would be great if other great apps (like Cinexplore for movie discovery), would start using Yamtrack for their backend.
Anyways, I feel people should give it a try:

Would be great to see more people use it and maybe even contribute, as the dev has been active and responsive! Thanks u/haumeaparty
